Default extended brake lines question

Wondering if these will work with the TF 2.5" lift on a 2dr. I heard that I will probly get 3" of lift but with heavy duty bumpers I should end up with a true 2.5".

Those will work fine. If you think you might ever add spacers or anything you might want to go up to the next size. I personally would rather have them a little long than too short

I think the Teraflex lift comes with brakeline drop brackets that move them down 2".

They'll work, but I don't think you'll need them. I have the TF 2.5" coil lift plus a 1" spacer in the front and 1/2" in the rear. My shocks are for a 3" lift. I flexed my suspension completely after the spacer install, and the brakelines were nowhere near being streched too far.

I was looking to avoid using the drop brackets and they have blue ones so I thought thought those would match my jeep. It's going to see a lot of beach driving and the salt air is everywhere here. I figured new lines would be better. I don't replace them any more than I have to but the sea air kills things quick here.

The lines are fairly inexpensive. I would go for it. They will look good and you will have piece of mind
